Description: Harold Nicolson kept a diary from the moment he resigned from the Foreign Office at the end of 1929 until Oct. 1964. This volume covers the period from the beginning of the diary until the outbreak of war. It is an imcomparable record of those years, composed by a man who new almost every major figure of his times and was endowed with the ability to describe what he heard, saw and did and to communicate what he felt. But it is also a portrait of his marriage to the poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West.
